General Engine Question

nogoodname · 04-19-2009, 10:59 AM

on one of my cars, the belt tensioner pulley bearing is finished and so is my water pump.....both have an ugly noise when spinning.

the water pump is not a problem to change.

but the tensioner is iffy, could i just change the pulley or do i need a new tensioner assembly also. the assembly costs like 5 times more than a pulley wheel.

and thoughts on this??

thanks

Assuming that the pulley itself has the bearings on it, and just bolts to the tensioner arm, I would think just replacing the pulley would work fine.

Yea. That's what I was thinking.
Should I go with those universal one or get one from the dealership ?

As I'm typing this. I just saw the first 370z in person....lol
